Imagination Library

ONE CHILD AT A TIME, ONE BOOK AT A TIME.

IMAGINE if every child in Mahoning County entered school ready to learn and with a love of reading. The Imagination Library will help your child achieve that goal. The United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley wants to put a book in every child's hand birth to age five at no cost. Through the Imagination Library, kids will receive a FREEage appropriate book mailed directly to your home until they turn five years old. By getting on board with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, the children will be able to lay the tracks for a promising future. Should the child move from Mahoning County, he/she will automatically exit the program. Our gift to your child is free books, your gift to them is the power to read. All families in Mahoning County with children birth to age five are eligible to enroll.
